Himmlischer König

Kapitel 99

The Azure Jade Sword and the Azure Nether Sword grazed each other, aiming straight for the opponent's chest. However, the Azure Jade Sword was one move faster and had already reached Lotus's chest. In just a moment, Lotus's eyes filled with sorrow, knowing that she was doomed!

However.

At that very moment.

The Azure Jade Sword, which was about to pierce Lotus's chest, suddenly shone brightly. Starting from the tip of the sword, it was catalyzed by Ye Chuhan's powerful internal force, shattering into pieces until it reached the hilt. Ye Chuhan himself then slightly opened his arms and charged directly at the sword in Lotus's hand. The Azure Nether Sword let out a long howl and plunged directly into Ye Chuhan's chest!

Click—

The Azure Sword pierced through flesh and blood, straight into Ye Chuhan's heart. The blade passed through his chest, instantly exploding into a cloud of blood mist. The Azure Sword went straight into the hilt. Lotus's body trembled violently, her eyes widening in shock. She was forced forward by the force of the sword and was actually pulled into Ye Chuhan's arms.

The two figures fell silently from the sky above the flower valley.

Lotus was held tightly in Ye Chuhan's arms the whole time. Her sword pierced him without hesitation, but he, in the moment of life and death, abandoned his sword and held her affectionately in his arms.

From this day forward, the stars Shen and Shang will be forever separated!

Lotus was stunned as he held her tightly in his arms. The embrace was unusually warm, and warm blood gushed from his chest, soaking their snow-white clothes.

She looked up at him.

Ye Chuhan gazed at her quietly, a faint smile appearing in her sorrowful eyes.

Her gaze froze like ice crystals, her voice as bewildered as a dream, "Why?"

Ye Chuhan's blood gushed out like a spring.

He trembled as he held her tightly, his face ashen. He gasped for breath in pain, blood streaming from the corner of his lips, but in his long, elegant eyes, there was a gentle smile.

"Lotus..." he murmured her name, a faint smile in Xiuya's eyes. He lowered his head with difficulty and placed a kiss on her pure white cheek as she stared in a daze.

He kissed her deeply, his voice trembling with passion.

It was a very warm kiss. In the moment when his life was about to end, he left her with the last bit of warmth he had left, and finally he could touch her without any reservations.

He kissed her.

Even if we are separated forever from each other!

Even if I have to sleep forever in the cold snow of the Tianshan Mountains!

If he could have that one moment of kiss, that one moment of her, that one moment of warmth, he would never be lonely and sad again on his journey to the underworld.

"...I...love you..."

Ye Chuhan struggled to smile slightly, and whispered affectionately in her ear, while two streams of hot tears slid down his pale cheeks.

The blood in his chest was boiling hot like magma.

Blood kept gushing from his throat, and his breathing became heavy and weak.

Lotus lifted her head from his embrace, her hands covered in his warm blood. She gazed at his deathly pale face, her eyes filled with sorrow.

"It's too late..."

sorry……

This kind of love, however, came too late...

She traveled thousands of miles to Tianshan Snow Gate to be with him day and night, all for a vow, a love that lasts a lifetime, to stay together until old age and never betray each other.

Even though she only found out in the end that she had the wrong person from the very beginning!

But--

She truly waited for him, and she truly loved him!

He had never responded to her so seriously before!

That boy, who wandered and struggled in the desert, wrapped his heart in hatred and resentment during his long and painful years of growing up, not allowing anyone to get close. He coldly mocked her love, doubted her, hurt her, and rejected her without mercy, cruelly and silently destroying her feelings time and time again!

They even went so far as to drive her to the brink of despair!

Lotus finally reached out her hand, trembling.

Her hands were pressed against his chest, burning hot from the gushing blood, and she slowly pushed him away from her.

She pushed him away and stepped out of his embrace.

Ye Chuhan stood trembling, and gave a dejected smile, serene yet weathered.

Lotus remained standing steadily, her eyes wide open and unblinking, as if she could see nothing. She slowly turned around and walked step by step out of the flower valley.

Ye Chuhan watched her turn around and leave...

He staggered, staring fixedly at her departing figure, and finally, blood gushed from his mouth. Behind Lotus, he collapsed helplessly onto the ground covered with a thick layer of fallen petals, waves of flowers rising with the wind, fluttering like snow from the Tianshan Mountains.

She didn't turn around to look at him even once.

"lotus……"

In his final moments before falling into eternal sleep, Ye Chuhan's eyes glazed over, his gaze trembling as he stared intently at the receding figure of a pale white man. His hand reached out with difficulty, tears streaming down his face...

"...Lotus, the River of Oblivion, reincarnation...In the next life, I will e sooner...and never again be so late...to love you..."
